[Imports] (no subject)

[Nathan Mixter]

The city of Stockon, California has released building footprints and other
digital files that can be imported into OSM. GIS Supervisor Bruce Faylor
confirmed that the files are public domain and can be freely used.
Unfortunately the city doesn't have any address files either linked in the
building file or in a separate digital file. They don't have any plans to
release updates, so this would be a one-time import. The import would
include just the generic building=yes tag since the files don't include
anything else of value.

There aren't many buildings already added in the city, but I plan to verify
that none overlap with existing buildings. I will leave the existing
buildings in place and merge any existing  address nodes or pois manually
with the new buildings.

I would also like to import a modified version of the zoning landuse areas
within the city. These would include just commercial, industrial and
residential areas. I have modified and reduced the nodes of the files since
they were over digitalized originally and included too many nodes. I plan
to verify the areas so they don't overlap any of the zoning areas already
added surrounding the city.

Please see the import page at

more.

The JOSM files are available for review at

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yu6tc0uwgh7g7i3/stockton%20landuse.osm. Always
interested in thoughts and comments. Thanks,
Nathan
